Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    Capt Marc was great - he got us on fish quickly. He had each of the 4 of us pulling in big fish for most of our time out there. Crew was very helpful too, especially for less experienced fisherman such as we are. Great experience and would definitely do it again! Great way to celebrate a 60th birthday with friends. - Rich

    Captain Mark Hakey and his Mate Casey did a fantastic job and provided great service for our family. We caught a good amount of stripers and everyone had a great time. The Captain and Mate are polite and professional and the boat was spotless.
